    How good was Red Alert though? One of my favorites, and I think RA2 was the first game I ever played online.

    Also worth mentioning, since we’re in Risa, that George Takei was even in RA3!

        The best moment of this best moment is the split second where he reads his line off of the prompt, cannot believe what he is about to say, and then goes ahead and says it in the best way humanly possible. And that’s the take they used.

          I’d love to see a behind the scenes or blooper reel with other attempts of that line read. Just Tim busting up, unable to get it out, prompting the crew to break down with him.

      It was awesome back in the day. Its clunky but still fun today. While it was a little campy during the cutscenes, it was actually supposed to have a more serious tone than RA2.

      It also answers the question of what if Stalin didn’t stop at Berlin. stalin-shining
